Description

Date Change - 26th of May

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a life-long developmental disability that affects the individual’s understanding and interpretation of the world around them. Such a disability may cause students to have difficulty with social interaction, communication, behaviour and sensory processing.

The purpose of these 4 professional learning modules is to:

  • Explore how the key characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorder impact on a student’s education
  • Learn effective, evidence-based strategies to support students throughout their schooling
  • Examine the whole school approach to supporting students on the Autism spectrum including building positive partnerships with parents/carers and other agencies.
